Instructions

  1. Step 1: Thinly slice chicken breast into 1/2-inch strips and season with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add chicken and cook for 5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: While chicken cooks, spiralize zucchini into noodles; if using a hand spiralizer, pat noodles dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Step 3: Squeeze juice from 1 lemon over cooked chicken, then stir in minced garlic and 1 tbsp fresh parsley; cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Toss zucchini noodles in a bowl with 1/2 tsp olive oil to prevent sticking, then top with chicken and lemon-herb sauce; serve immediately while hot.
